Description/Abstract

To boost the number of undergraduates actively involved in research, and to enhance the science communication skills of these students, I have transformed my upper-division, elective Marine Biology course into research/service-learning course that showcases what is possible. In this 25-person class, all individuals participated in research projects over the course of the semester that would add to the current literature. My students were also connected with public school educators, and they developed presentations for K-8th grade classrooms based on their research. All presented their results at on-campus Research and Service-Learning Showcases.
